Rotate Zune menu

tyster · 12-11-2007, 11:47 AM

I hope I'm not reiterating another post - some keyword searches yielded nothing...

Is there a way to rotate the menu in the Zune? There are 2 reasons that the 3:4 aspect ration menu annoys me:
1: When you switch between videos/pics and menu, you have to rotate the zune to keep things oriented properly. I understand that this is done because pics/vids are in 4

aspect ratio and a 3:4 aspect ratio give a better menu viewing area, but it would be nice to make the menu rotation optional
2: When a background image is selected (most pics are 4

ratio), the edges get cut off to make it fit when viewing the menu.

This is a very low priority gripe, but a gripe nonetheless. Any solutions? Thanks.

mmmm...I haven't heard anything about something like this.. : /

I agree it would be something good, but it's not available right now...

It would be nice. I've got a lot of action shots from football that would look good as b/gs and they just don't look right when cropped

I thought it was interesting that one of the preloaded videos (the one entitled "Zune" no less) was portrait instead of landscape. Interesting to point out in this discussion... but it's annoying that volume control is sideways when watching it.

That would be a pretty sweet add on, hope we see it soon!
